Dedicated to the gods of sake and rice, the Fushimi Inari Shrine is one of the oldest Shinto shrines in Japan.
Five shrines dot the forested temple grounds, and the arched red lines of torii gates straddling the pathway leading up to Inari Mountain are a truly iconic sight.
You’ll also see plenty of stone foxes at this temple, another symbol of Shinto.
A lovely place for a stroll in rural surrounds, there are fine views of Kyoto from the top of the torii gate pathway up the mountain. Stop off for a sustaining bowl of tofu soup at the small restaurants along the way.

Take this tour to see the sights and sounds of Kyoto the way the locals do. Our tourguides Hiro and Jagna took us around Kyoto by means of train and we went to see the beautiful Fuishimi Inari Shrine and Tofukuji Temple. Our tour highlight was when we went to the Geisha Districts and was able to see about 12 geishas about to go out for the night. The tour felt like we were sightseeing with friends and not with a tour guide. I highly recommend it!
One tip though, the tourguide will meet you at the designated meeting point so don't look for an establishment :o)
A gorgeous and magical shrine. I loved contemplatively strolling through the miles of torii (gates) and stopping to admire small shrines and memorials.
